I am looking into using the paypal NVP API to allow users to pay on my website for a recurring subscription.

I have a few questions about the requirements. Will my site have to meet the "PCI Compliance" stuff. I guess I will have to get an SSL certificate and is there anything else that is required or that I need to know about?

A: 

There is nothing forcing you to meet PCI Compliance and use SSL, but you should anyway to limit your liability and inspire a little customer trust.

I thought I read something on the Satchmo Developer's Google group about a person implementing PayPal NVP and having a patch.

Nice, that website was down yest. but seems to be fine today! What do you mean by having a patch?

Sorry, I think I confused the PayPal acronyms NVP is already implemented its WPS (Websites Payment Standard?) that is not and there is a patch to enable WPS.

A: 

I know this question is a bit out of date, but I wanted to add a note that I've recently released an open source Python API to the PayPal NVP interface.

django-paypal already does a lot of this stuff and more. Maybe you should just contribute to that project.

I'm pretty sure mine was written first.
